Summary

Summary

This tutorial described the basic technologies that make up a Web service. It also showed how you can easily expose and consume Web services using Rational Application Developer. Simple wizards guide you through exposing any Java class as a Web service. Using the Web Services Client Wizard, you can quickly consume the Web service you just exposed or another Web service from the Internet. Not only will you get all the Web service consumer code, but you will also get a rich test client that you can use to test the Web service. The tutorial ended by showing you how to use Rational Application Developer to build a WSDL file that can be converted into a Web service. This operation gives you the skeleton classes that you need to implement for the Web service as well as a test client to test the Web service after you have implemented it.
